Nihon Shu(s) Off in the Ancient Capital

Hey! We are having an absolutely cultural, culturally sensitive, and
sake induced holiday here in Kyoto (One of the ancient capitals of
Japan. Shoguns and Emperors kept moving around and moving the
capital with them in an effort to confuse foreigners 1000 years later)

Here are a few pictures.

Life is good in our Ryokan (Japanese Inn). We have our own garden,
paper screen doors we keep walking through, and the most amazing and
sincere lady who is our (for lack of a better term) room attendant.
She brings us mugi-cha and foods, puts out our futons in the evening,
makes sure our yukatas are fresh, and books us private time in the O-
Furo. Everything my own mother failed to do!

Hope all is well across the Pacific! We'll be in touch soon.
